<p><strong>Guests: </strong>Paige Tribdino and Marl Candido</p>
<p><strong>Description: </strong>In celebration of Pride month, Rumble is launching its Pride Series that is dedicated to issues and ideas on advancing the rights and protection of our LGBTQI+ folks. In its first episode, I am joined by Paige Tribdino and Marl Candido, who I both know from college, in this conversation to talk about our experiences in social transitioning. We shared our understanding of what social transitioning is, how we came out to family and friends, and how we are dealing with issues of misgendering and gender dysphoria. We got the chance to look back at some of our experiences in school and how some progress has been made to affirm the identities of trans students.</p>
<p>We also exchanged ideas on how to cope in certain situations where we feel our identities are not respected or taken seriously.</p>
<p>What are our message to fellow trans and cis individuals still in the process of learning? What is the advice we got that we still hold dear and help us get through life’s challenges? Stick around until the end to find out our answers to these questions.</p>
